 Augmented Reality

 Definition"Augmented reality (AR) is a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data.”  "Augmented Reality." . N.p.. Web. 15 Nov. 2013. < @http://mashable.com/category/augmented-reality/ >.

 Focus on Educational Technology:

 -“Augmented reality applications can complement a standard curriculum. Text, graphics, video and audio can be superimposed into a student’s real time environment. Textbooks, flashcards and other educational reading material can contain embedded “markers” that, when scanned by an AR device, produce supplementary information to the student rendered in a multimedia format.”

 -”Students can participate interactively with computer generated simulations of historical events, exploring and learning details of each significant area of the event site.”

 -”AR can aid students in understanding chemistry by allowing them to visualize the spatial structure of a molecule and interact with a virtual model of it that appears, in a camera image, positioned at a marker held in their hand.”

This site included apps for both elementary students and high school students. Subjects included are: astronomy, math, geography, and English language arts. It’s a great website for teachers that want to incorporate technology. while engaging all students.

We as a class saw it first hand with our smart phone apps, looking at different photos printed from the Internet, but this video shows us an example of AR used with small toys.
